Somewhat must be done de futuro; For time to come: That may not only compose the Quarrel, but lay a sure foundation of an After Peace between God and the Kingdom. And for that purpose, a Means lies before us; an Opportunity is held forth unto us by the hand of Divine Wisdom, and goodness, of known use and success among the People of God in former times; which is yet to me a gracious intimation, and a farther argument of hope from Heaven, that God hath not sworn against us in his wrath, nor sealed us up a People devoted to destruction, but hath yet a mind to enter into terms of peace and reconciliation with us, to receive us into Grace and Favour, to become our God, and to own us for his People; if yet, we will go forth to meet him, and accept of such honourable terms as shall be propounded to us. And that is by renewing our Covenant with him; yea, by entering into a more full and firm Covenant then ever heretofore: For as the Quarrel was raised about the Covenant, so it must be a Covenant more solid and substantial, that must compose the Quarrel, as I shall show you hereafter, and that is the service and the privilege that lies before us; the work of the next day. So that me thinks I hear this Use of Exhortation, which now I would commend unto you, speaking unto us in that Language.
